Silkie laid her first eggs!

[SillySilkie]

Yesterday, we found out one of the two silkie hens laid three eggs in the nest-box. Today I found her already setting on them. I feel so proud, haha. I know a lot of chickens just lay eggs wherever at first, but she knew exactly what to do!

Ooooh, I want to see more pix of daddy, without wire? He looks gorgeous!

What a good girl, she should get extra treats.

Two of the three eggs were found in the nest box cracked. My rooster favors the silkies and the silkies are sisters, so I think its our younger bantams who are too young to lay eggs. Very sad about it

Had to throw the two eggs out, momma hen came over and looked at her nest with confusion. Hoping this will not be a pattern
